A thing I wrote on Facebook that people seemed to like, so I'm putting it here to give it extended shelf life:

I was rereading "Gramma," which I think is one of Stephen King's best short stories, and this occurred to me: True horror is not the evil zombie grandmother. True horror is the vast gulf *between* the evil zombie grandmother and the cheerful cartoon grandmother on the telephone notepad. True horror is in the lightyears of distance between the way your heart knows things ought to be, or wants them to be, and the way your eye sees they are.

I checked to make sure that story was in Skeleton Crew. I bought that in hardcover when it was first published. I was thinking recently how that's one of the books I want to get in Kindle so I reread it easier.

Yes! I should have added this reason to my post about why reading on a tablet device is easier. Some people can't hold certain books or it's just too damn big or whatever to read comfortably. I tried reading Bugliosi's huge tome on the JFK assassination but it was so thick that I couldn't read it in bed while lying on my side, which is when I do most of my reading.
